“The God of mercy; He does not tire of forgiving. We are the ones who tire in asking for forgiveness, but He does not tire,” – Pope Francis.
In “I confess,” we say, “We have sinned through our own fault, in our thoughts and in our words, in what we have done, and in what we have failed to do.” – Everyone sins! Our sins separated us from God and one another. As Catholics, we go to confession to say sorry for the wrong (sin) in our lives and to experience God’s healing through forgiveness. Jesus loves and is anxious to forgive us. Will we give Him that chance?

We write to invite you and your family and friends to a special All Souls joint service between Metropolitan Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and Wellington Cathedral of St Paul.
The Choir of Wellington Cathedral of St Paul will be leading our sung worship, which will feature MIHA, a new setting of the Requiem Mass in Latin and Te Reo Māori by Auckland-based composer Takarei Komene.
During the service we will remember in prayer those who have died in the last year. Cards will be available for you to fill out the name of a loved one you would like to be read out during our prayers of remembrance. There will also be an opportunity to light a candle in remembrance of your loved one.
The service will last around 75 minutes, providing time and space for reflection, and seeks to bring comfort in offering God’s peace and the reassurance of our Christian faith and hope.
We do hope you will be able to attend and look forward to welcoming you.
This service is in addition to our regular Masses in our Connolly Hall Chapel which will be at 8.00am and 12.10pm on that day.
